Template variable — source entity id

source entity id (TemplateVariable.sourceEntityId) is a field stored on each template variable record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the template variable record's data. The sourceEntityId field belongs to the template variable it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set sourceEntityId while working with that TemplateVariable record. Because sourceEntityId is part of the TemplateVariable record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the template variable.
